To de or not to de, that is the question... This one does not have one black and white answer and you will find that as you progress we increase the range of uses of "de". The case that you are referring to is to use it for descriptions. In general you can use it to describe objects or people- you will absolutely be understood and although sometimes it might not be thd most colloquial way to describe something, you will be correct- Examples: big chair = Dà de yǐzi, blue clothing = lánsè de yīfu.
